This article covers SilverStone Miloシリーズ HTPCケース SST-ML09B.
Overview
The SilverStone Milo SST-ML09B is a compact HTPC case with a mere 7-liter volume, designed to house a Mini-ITX motherboard, an SFX power supply, and a dual-slot low-profile graphics card. Its glossy mirrored front panel gives it a premium look suitable for a living room setup. The case comes with a single 120mm fan pre-installed and supports optional 80mm fans. The internal layout efficiently accommodates up to four 2.5-inch drives, making it ideal for home theater PCs, compact gaming rigs, or recording servers. Constructed from aluminum and alloy steel, the ML09B balances rigidity with heat dissipation. It targets users who need a small footprint without sacrificing the ability to use discrete graphics. The case is positioned as an entry-to-mid-range solution for space-constrained builds.
Compatibility Guide
The SST-ML09B only supports Mini-ITX motherboards; ATX or Micro-ATX boards will not fit. The power supply must be an SFX unit (SFX-L or ATX are not compatible). For graphics, only low-profile, dual-slot cards are accepted – full-height GPUs cannot be installed. Storage is limited to 2.5-inch drives (HDD or SSD), up to four units; 3.5-inch drives are not supported. The front I/O offers two USB 2.0 ports. There is no optical drive bay.
Product Info
Released around 2016, the SilverStone SST-ML09B remains available as a current product. It sits in the entry-to-mid-range HTPC case market with a price around ¥13,000 (approx. $90 USD).

Warranty is typically one year from the manufacturer. Main sales channels include and PC component retailers.
Best Use Cases
- Home Theater PC (HTPC): Slim enough to fit into AV racks, with a quiet cooling profile. Ideal for streaming media, though an external optical drive is needed for discs. - Space-Saving Gaming PC: Pair with a low-profile GPU like the GTX 1650 or RTX 3050 LP for 1080p gaming in a tiny footprint. - Compact Server / Recording Box: With four 2.5-inch bays, it can serve as a small NAS or DVR, consuming very little power.
Things to Consider
The biggest limitation is GPU compatibility: you must use a low-profile, dual-slot card, which narrows performance options significantly. High-end gaming GPUs are almost never available in this form factor. Also, the SFX-only PSU requirement means you cannot reuse a standard ATX power supply, and SFX units tend to be more expensive per watt. Cooling is minimal – just one 120mm fan out of the box. For gaming loads, CPU and GPU thermals may become an issue; focus on low-power components. The lack of an optical drive bay is another consideration for those who still use physical media. Compared to other compact cases like the Fractal Design Node 202 or Thermaltake Core V1, the ML09B offers less internal expansion but excels in sheer small size and front-panel aesthetics.
